ssdss Examples

1. Search with results to standard output
2. Search with results to a file
3. Find closest star

Example 1. Search with results to standard output

Find the 10 brightest SDSS point sources in a 1/3-degree square centered on 12:00:00 +2:00:00 J2000 and sort them by right ascension.
ssdss -s r -hn 10 -r -600 12:00:00 +2:00:00 J2000
produces the following:
